Meepo Items: What to Buy and When
More Meepo guides
This guide is assembled by the site from match data and the game's own information — nobody wrote it by hand. Official and community guides appear alongside it when they exist.
Overview
This guide explains every item in Meepo's builds and when to buy it. Your spikes are your core items: Sange and Yasha and then Aghanim's Shard.
Strengths
- Reliable root: Earthbind sets up kills.
- Mobility: Poof gets Meepo in and out of fights.
- Sustain from Ransack to stay in lane and in fights.
Weaknesses
- Melee: has to walk up to its target, which makes the lane harder against ranged heroes.
- The enemy jungle and supports will target you for ganks.

4Adapting to the game
The damage build moves the offensive items forward when you're ahead; the defensive one adds survival when the enemy focuses you. The situational builds in the matchups guide answer specific threats.
Tips
- Buy Sange and Yasha as early as you can: it's your first real spike.
- Complete one item before starting the next: half-built items give less than one finished one.
- Look at the enemy team at every back and adjust the situational items.
- Don't sit on gold: spend it when you go back.
